A VERY HOT AND SUNNY MANILVA ON WEDNESDAY;

WEDNESDAY 27^th/ AUGUST 2014.

Well it’s officially another very hot day today, again! Here in sunny Manilva the temperatures are rising, in some parts of the region yesterday it reached 42c( Cordoba) and we are due to go up to 37c! I’ve just come back from the butchers with tonight’s Pork Chops, cut English style( thick!) and could not resist buying a nice slice of steak for tomorrow nights supper instead of the Chicken wings!

After breakfast of a nice glass of freshly squeezed local orange juice, tea,toast and Weetabix for me we are sorting ourselves out for the rest of the day ahead; I’m up in the office on the WWW and as you can see typing the Blog and Brenda is pottering about catching up with all her chores, at lunchtime ‘Scruffy’ is arriving for the day and is being picked up later in the evening.

Den arrived home safely in Skelton and is back in work and rather busy, meanwhile Josie is taking in the sun on her balcony/terrace and generally 'Gadding'about visiting her adoring public, yesterday they had a new boiler fitted at the apartment.

We are now back into our reading in the afternoons before our ‘Happy Hour’ cocktails but its still too hot to go out on the roof terrace at the moment. For our supper tonight we are having the ‘Pork Chops’ baked in the oven with some ‘Bubble & Squeek’from last nights left over Cabbage and mashed potatoes with more of the Onion Gravy!

The coverage of the ‘Vuelta a Espana’ on ‘TVE 1’ is excellent with replays later if you miss it on the ‘TDP’ sports channel,todays stage 5 goes from ‘Priego De Cordoba’ to ‘Ronda’ through the high Sierras.

After supper we will watch the news and then find something to watch.

Thoughts for the Day; See above.
